Von Duprin 050400 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Von Duprin top latch kit used for?
The top latch kit provides additional security for Von Duprin surface vertical rod exit devices. It creates a secondary locking point at the top of the door frame. Used when standard single-point latching is insufficient for security requirements.
2) Which Von Duprin devices is this top latch kit compatible with?
This kit works with Von Duprin surface-mounted vertical rod exit devices. Compatible with 99 and 98/9947 series devices. Verify your specific device model before ordering. Check Von Duprin documentation for complete compatibility lists.
3) Does this kit include the top latch cover?
No, this kit does not include the cover. The cover must be ordered separately. This allows matching the cover finish to your specific device finish requirements.
4) What door handing considerations apply to this top latch kit?
Hand-specific components may be included depending on door swing direction. Right-hand and left-hand installations require proper orientation. Verify door handing before installation to ensure correct operation.
5) What finish options are available for the separate cover?
Covers are available in standard Von Duprin finishes including aluminum, bronze, and painted options. Match the cover finish to your exit device finish. Consult Von Duprin finish charts for exact color matching.
6) What are the basic installation requirements for this top latch kit?
Installation requires drilling and mounting hardware at the top of the door frame. Use Von Duprin installation templates for proper positioning. Coordinate with vertical rod mechanism alignment. Professional installation recommended for code compliance.
7) How does the top latch mechanism operate?
The top latch operates in conjunction with the vertical rod system. When the exit device is actuated, the vertical rod retracts the top latch simultaneously with the bottom latch. This provides coordinated dual-point egress operation.
8) What door and frame conditions are required?
Door frame must provide adequate material thickness for secure mounting. Frame head must accommodate the latch mechanism. Verify door height clearances and frame construction. Steel frames typically provide better mounting support than hollow frames.
9) How do you maintain and adjust the top latch mechanism?
Regular lubrication of moving parts maintains smooth operation. Check vertical rod alignment periodically. Adjust latch engagement as needed for proper door security. Follow Von Duprin maintenance schedules for optimal performance.
10) What building code considerations apply to top latch installations?
Installation must maintain single-motion egress requirements per life safety codes. Both latching points must release with one operation of the exit device. Verify local fire code compliance. AHJ approval may be required for specific applications.
11) Are there related Von Duprin accessories for vertical rod devices?
Additional accessories include bottom latches, rod guides, and adjustable rod sections. Covers and trim pieces are available for finished appearance. Check our Von Duprin section for complete accessory options.
